as others have said, i've literally only seen racist tags getting spammed by kpop stans, and considering that racist idiots were trying to get "shaveforgeorge/shaveforblm" (a bid to try and get white allies to shave their heads in an attempt to look like skinheads, yes it's that fucking stupid) and "blacklives1488" (an attempt to get blm associated with neonazis/fascism, more on 88/1488 and its meaning) trending, there could be other tags associated with racism that wouldn't have gone trending but still been flooded with hate instead of gifs/fancams
also iirc the main reason kpop fans were asked to help in this aspect in the first place is BECAUSE they've basically mastered the algorithm to get things trending without being detected as spam (see the multiple youtube streams that donate ad revenue to BLM-related movements, where they were the primary source of info on how to maximize ad revenue without it being flagged as spam)
(though it'd also be ignorant of me to ignore the fact that other kpop stans have shown ABSURD amounts of racism in the past re: harassing Black kpop stans, trying to get cupcakke to commit suicide, etc)
